How do you handle removing old wiring on a competitive bid on an add a level. Ive never worked for this company would like the job not sure if I should say " removal and re feeding of existing wiring t&m "

do you think a 8 hr day is fair to figure for demo
The plans should be a great help in estimating the job, all the plans we review for these monster homes usually have plenty of details for existing and new.
Most plans I come across do not show much at all in the way of detail on demo.
I either get to swag at it or if I am lucky, we are allowed to visit the site first and somehow I get to use my x-ray vision to see inside the walls so I can determine all the rework I will have to do. Truth is it is a crapshoot most of the time, and for that part T+M would be a good way to handle it.
By the way, OP didn't mention "monster house", maybe its a 1200sq ft ...
Sounds real vague to me. Seems like alot of variables not described or even unknown.
Are you responsible for opening up the walls; do U only open enough to get to each staple? Will a replacement of the box per device be needed?
Who's responsible to the clean up of the punched holes or the framing bay? What if it's strayed insulation, or even particle and not mat insulation in the ceiling?
"Add a level", seems to imply that another floor addition and that would gut
everything on that floor anywas's. Then work on what can be touched in respects to the floor below.
Seems per item could be 1/8 to 1/4 more time for demo and roping... and thats probably low...
Seems you could ask around on the GC and get a read on what their like.
If your not use to this type of work with a comfortable number, then it's not for you... and the same has been said many times before here.
